The Pub
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the warm, inviting atmosphere of The Pub. Their sign proudly claimed “Best Burgers in Town,” and they absolutely lived up to the hype. The burger was cooked perfectly — juicy, flavorful, and stacked with fresh toppings that made every bite better than the last. What really set the experience apart, though, was Marc, the bartender and server. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, checking in just the right amount without ever being intrusive. His attentiveness, genuine friendliness, and knowledge of the menu made the whole visit feel personal and memorable. If you’re looking for great food and even better service, The Pub is definitely worth a stop.
I finally got to go here after hearing about it for so long. The burger that I have heard so much about was very good. I had a medium cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard, and that came with french fries, which were delicious, well seasoned, and piping hot. The burger was cooked perfectly. The bun was toasted and buttery. I would not say it’s the very best burger I’ve ever had and I was a tiny bit disappointed. I wanted more of an old-fashioned flat top greasy kind of hamburger I guess. I got a Coke for my drink and it was mixed perfectly for my taste, a little sweeter than most. It was a good meal.
Good food, great atmosphere & music
I have been here many times over the last couple of years and the new improvements make the place look better than ever! Was there last night, (8 March 2025) and the burgers were amazing, the wait staff was fast and courteous, the beer was cold, and the band was rockin'! (The Anthony James Band).
The new open space design and large selection of TVs give a great sports bar appeal. The new paint, floors, and bar design really lends to an open friendly atmosphere.
This is no longer your favorite local dive bar. They have definitely improved a lot and are punching above their weight class to compete with some of the best bars in town! If you are looking for a great experience with a local bar with great service and atmosphere, then you need to come to the updated Pub!
The place is totally redone. It's huge and the bar wraps all the way around. I got a burger with everything including mushrooms and blue cheese and fries. It's better then Kick Back Jacks & Red Robin. The only place that can even come close is longhorn steakhouse! I took great pics but I can't figure out how to post them
Love this place.
I haven't been in for a bit so I hadn't seen the remodel but I think this is a place where the atmosphere is created by the customers and staff. It still had that cheers/ hometown type feel to me. I came for the burger of course. I don't know why I don't come more often. I didn't wait long, the staff was pleasant. The burger was cooked perfect!!!! You actually get to choose how you want it cooked. I don't know anywhere else around here you can get a burger like this. I will definitely have to come more often.
This place used to be great, however since their recent remodel they are struggling with staff issues. Slow service, don’t know the menu, and the entitled attitude could use some work too.
The new interior is clean but has lost the warmth and authenticity it used to possess. Looks like every other bar now.
With all that being said the specials and happy hour are still pretty good. At its height this place was the King though and I wish it would get its act together so I could drink in a place I feel good about again.
Give it a try. I recommend it.
We went for the first time tonight and although the food was good the service was terrible! One hour wait for 2 burgers and fries and the place wasn't that busy.One waitress and 2 other guys in the back.

Just left this restaurant and had a horrible experience. It took 40 minutes for to get my
Burger and when I got it, it was dry!!!! I was rushed to eat and pay. It made me feel like I was racially
Profiled. Will never come here again.
Great burgers, wings and beer! 🍔🌶️🍻
We've been on the hunt for a good burger and if you're looking for a pub style burger, this might be your place. I ordered my burger medium rare and it came out perfectly cooked. My friend ordered a junior burger medium rare, and hers was also perfectly cooked. Both were absolutely delicious. My only complaint was that we waited a very long time for our food. I suspect that there was a problem in the kitchen because all of the other people in the restaurant also waited a very long time for their food and all of the food came out within about 15 minutes of each other.
The burgers came with fries and our fries were also perfectly cooked and delicious. They are shoestring fries so they weren't white hot (that's hard to achieve when you're bringing them from the kitchen to the table) but they were hot and crispy.
If you like sports bars, you would probably rate the atmosphere a 5. Honestly, for a sports bar, it wasn't too loud. There was a Redskins game on that had the sound up and only a few people watching it so there was some cheering and a little bit of booing but for the most part the sports watchers seemed to be getting what they wanted. 😊
Regardless, we will be going back.
Great wings. Amazing company!!
